Both the Internet and Starbucks diehards across the country struggled to make sense of the coffee house chain's limited-time Unicorn Frappuccino. Memes erupted, taste-testings video went viral and a complete social media blitz invaded Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat for five "magical" days.

Then on Feb. 27, VIP burger fans became the first to experience Shake Shack's newest Houston outpost in Rice Village. Doors opened to the public the following day.

Two Texas-centric items are offered on the menu. And though the Lockhart Link Burger - a cheeseburger topped with Kreuz Market's jalapeno cheese sausage link - is served statewide, the West U-nicorn Concrete (that's Shake Shack-speak for frozen custard) is exclusive to the Rice Village location.

As you might imagine, there are similarities between the two "unicorns."

Each are colorful, and predominantly pink. At Starbucks, a grande Unicorn Frappuccino had 410 calories; a single-serve West U-nicorn has the same.

While the former claimed its "flavors start off sweet and fruity transforming to pleasantly sour," the latter is creamy, milkshake-esque dessert from beginning to end.

For added street-cred, the Shake Shack's version features "unicorn bait" cookie dough toppings from Fluff Bake Bar, another local gem, too.

Admittedly, Starbucks' color-changing creation was more decidedly more filter-friendly. But Facebook "likes" aside, the West U-nicorn is actually edible and #HoustonStrong - and that's what counts.
